WWE announced their new June pay-per-view called Payback on WWE.com earlier today. The event will take place Sunday, June 16, 2013 from the Allstate Arena in Chicago, Illinois. So it is confirmed, what is it replacing? Hopefully it's not a gimmick PPV, could be good. The name just sounds a bit cheesy.

Logo and name seem dated, like early-mid 90s.

It'd be replacing...No Way Out I believe? Which sucks as Payback sounds ing terrible.

I plan on making the drive to this show. So as long as it's a quality event, the name doesn't really bother.

Backlash, Vengeance, Unforgiven, Judgement Day and No Mercy definately didn't have that "Payback" vibe to it.

Regular pay-per-views haven't been the same with me since they dropped the traditional names. I dunno, man. I just miss Judgement Day, Backlash, The Great American Bash, Armageddon, No Way Out, and even Taboo Tuesday. These names are terrible and I thought they would've grown on me by now.

It doesn't even sound like something I would buy....
Now Backlash, Bash at the Beach, Sold Out, No Mercy....these are $$$.

Guys, Backlash and Payback are practically the same thing. Lets just be glad it isn't "Triple Threat" or "Last Man Standing" and give it a chance. I pretty much guarantee if they keep Payback around for 5 or 10 years you'll all love it just as much as the classics.
Don't get me wrong, I miss Judgment Day and Great American Bash and No Mercy too, but similarly to Over The Limit, I think Payback is a step in the right direction.

I don't understand why they can't just have the same PPV lineup every year.

I don't understand why they can't just have the same PPV lineup every year. I understand changing them up after all these years but swapping names every couple of years or so is just dumb. I could dig it if they chose some good names but these are just bad.

It's the same kind of "generic action movie" title that they started getting away from because they were hokey. If they're going to give them names like this, they might as well have kept the original ones. Also, this will be the month before Money in the Bank? So quite a financial-themed summer in WWE. Hopefully this means D-Young and Titus will be winning all the gold!

The A reminds me of the Avengers. But eh, name doesn't matter. Should still be a good PPV.
When has there been a bad PPV in Chicago?

Guys, WWE treat their fans like retards... of course all their new PPV names will be incredibly simplistic.
